The book maker made the first book perfectly. I got about 12 pages of Epson double sided matte in it. Put it in the binder and it just worked.

I let about 20 people handle the book and no one was able to pull the pages out. They got pretty rough with it.

My only gripe is the 8.5 x 11 book cover is a little flimsy. The cover can bend easier than a hardback book. The 6"x4" books were very sturdy. Already bought 10 more books to get started.

It will do 12"x12" books and vertical 8.5"x11" books also. You can also anything in the steelbinding system, so if you want paperbacks, those can be bound too.

I went searching for this product the other day and found it in one of my local scrapbook stores. This product is AWESOME! It's simple, yet innovative in that it brings report making (and scrapbooking) to a whole new level of professionalism without the cost or hassle. I never thought I'd be able to create books like this on my own - absolutely incredible.

Included in the box:

The Photobook Creator
20 sheets of 8.5 x 11 DOUBLE SIDED inkjet photo paper (very cool stuff)
1 8.5 x 11 hardcover, black Photobook
Digital Photobook creator software

Not only is the finished product great, the process is really cool too. Basically, you put together all the pages of your report, book or photo album, stick them in the spine of the book, close it and then set it on the machine to work it's magic. Seriously - that's it! There's no on / off switch or warm-up time. You just set the book in the machine and it turns on automatically and in three minutes, you've made your own hardbound book. The part of the machine that touches the spine heats up, melting a resin already placed in the spine. The resin really grabs all the pages - and I'm telling you - I was really tugging on them and they weren't budging. I think I would have torn the pages before they actually came out of the spine. My wife has even used the 4 x 6 size to make her own mini-cookbooks at home with index cards. It's just versitile like that.

This is a really, really cool tool! This would definitely be a great scrapbooking gift idea for the serious scrapbooker - and professionally, anyone who is looking for a professional report and presentation tool at a corporate level or home office would be crazy to pass up the Photobook Creator. It's versitile, innovative and just plain cool!

On a side note - visit [...] to buy more books. I didn't do that at first (just wanting to test the first book), and I ended up feeling like a kid who gets a new toy on Christmas morning who doesn't have any batteries. They have a variety of sizes and colors (8.5 x 11, 4 x 6, 8 x 8 and 12 x 12). Stock up! I've already blown through my re-order because I keep finding new uses for it (and my wife does too).

I bought this unibind for my wife who had a project she needed it for. As a buyer, I was very happy with the communication, the price and delivery speed. As the user, my wife was very pleased with the product itself.

The first time I ordered this product, it arrived without the Photobook Creator software. I ordered a replacement, and it too arrived without the needed software. Amazon refused to send it a third time because "obviously there's a problem, and we're looking into it." I contacted the company that manufactures this product, and got absolutely no help there. They sent a replacement CD for a "Collage Creator" ... not what is supposed to be included in this product. I tried that software just out of curiosity, and couldn't get it to work. I contacted the company, and was told that by an employee that "Yeah, I tinkered with it, too, and it wasn't very useful." I was given a link to download the latest version of their software. Unfortunately, this program has so many flaws, the only thing that the Photobook Creator created was FRUSTRATION.
